Halloween Family Disco

The Halloween Family Disco is on at the Royal Maritime Hotel this Saturday, 31 October, and it's built for the under-12s. If you've got kids at home and you're still looking for something to do on the night itself, this is a straightforward one: a disco for the little ones, with music, games and fancy dress all in the same room.

It's a family affair, so you're not just dropping them off and disappearing. The music is the main thing, and the games run alongside it, so there's plenty to keep them busy without it feeling like a school assembly. Fancy dress is a big part of it too, which is usually the bit the kids enjoy most — getting sorted into a costume and seeing everyone else in theirs. If you've already got the outfits ready, this is a good place to let them wear them out.

It's held at the Royal Maritime Hotel in Portsmouth, so it's right in the city. The timing works for a family evening: it runs from 6pm to 8.30pm, which means you're in and out before the night gets too late for the younger ones. If you're planning to go, it's worth getting the costumes sorted in advance so you're not rushing on the day. It's a simple setup — music, games, and fancy dress for the under-12 crowd — and it all happens on Halloween night, 31 October, from 6pm to 8.30pm at the Royal Maritime Hotel.
